Summer Means Baseball

I was watching the final of the College World Series and thinking about my baseball days during the summer. They're long and over but I loved playing the game, those 6pm start times where we'd just race the daylight to finish it up. Then there were the nighttime playoff games in Newmarket against our rivals, they were hotter than the temperature. Since moving away for college I haven't thought much about those days, briefly I had an idea to start up a website to keep the stats for the 16-18 year old league but that never materialized. Tonight I made it a point to try and find that Babe Ruth league and see what ever happened to those days. Here's what I found...



That page told me that New Hampshire Babe Ruth Baseball has moved so when I go where there tell me to this is what I find...


If you can't see either of those you can here and here.

Now you can see that neither site actually provides any information and actually one of them is completely void of ownership.

To me this is a travesty and in the days of the digital age not even having a website with a schedule up or a form to sign up seems absurd! Here's what I'm proposing... I know a few designer people and I know some people that might get to read this knows a few people too maybe even in the New Hampshire area. I call on anyone to email the commissioner, email here, and find out what the heck is going on and offer up some gratis service for just getting a site up so some of us alumni can follow along if ever we needed to (or ever had a blog that needed info). Even a Wordpress thing that feeds the site with content and a laymen person can update.

*I'll update when I either hear back from he commissioner or someone emails me about a site idea)
